testing multisession and sadly nothing got fixed... no bluray changes. and not sure if the tools where upgraded. ran out of inodes after 3rd save session. To many files something overflowed.. just noticed Im surffing with airplane mode on you guys may never see this. But firefox on driod must have a kicka$$ cache system.
Hmmm.. ppm does not list aqualung .Hi @KRG
Is this going to be presented as a PET for Slacko64 users? I'd consider running it.
.pet gz without doc and nls and only one skin is 600 KB in size and with everything is 1200 KB .
So cannot attach here (anymore) .
Hmmmm.. have no access to ibiblio to upload anything.

yes.... looking forward to testing it...
Deltas? jus5 so you would not forget. But no rush I plan on downloading this full iso at Starbucks when in town soon. Thanks.
Also got last verison to boot with EFI with a blank boot screen so this will be nice, should let it boot as quicky as Fatdog64 with EFI support. Does it still have Apple file tools and systems

delta is up.
Same as last version regarding apple support. It is in the kernel but not in userland. Install the hsf-tools and you are good.
I have the EFI FB console drivers in there now. The black screen radeon may be modesetting. Try:on the kernel line.

Excellent PUP. It looks exactly like the 32bit Slacko excepting it feels so very very fast. And everything just pops so very very smoothly.
Download
Beginning, using Smokey01 download site listed in opening post of this thread, I downloaded at over 2Mb/sec with ISO arriving in just under 2 minutes.
System Boot
Burned ISO and booted on a non-UEFI PC. Started system "pfix=ram,copy,fsck" setting time, keyboard, and hostname in FirstRUN.
MTP
Next up, I plugged my MTP device in and it instantly was popped to the screen. When I allowed MTP to mount, it open a ROX folder. BUT, there is no icon on screen whent the ROX folder for the MTP device is closed. May want to look into an icon which allow user to Unmount the MTP from the desktop.
SAMBA
Started SAMBA to connect this PC's download folder for LAN user sharing using the built-in Network SSM utility. One item of note that we may want to review is whether the SMB2 protocol option is still necessary since version 4.10 (current Slacko version is 4.13).
So far, everything is running so smoothly, it is hardly noticeable how comfortable this feels, as, all apps are instant or near-instant in operations.
Thanks for such a smooth OOTB experience.

Thanks @Smokey01. I found it just after I posted. Clever, @01Micko. Hope others notice this too as it is a departure from traditional device representations on desktop.
This system is behaving so smoothly. Everything appears to be sliding into the desktop when launched and they slide off when minimized or closed in a very quiet uninterrupted or snapping manner.
A better description may be that its just so damn responsive! Wonderful.
Thanks, again!.

Booted 4 Slacko64s using ONLY the LAN, simultaneously fast
LH64 has a Netboot subsystem built-in. It is used to allow PCs on a LAN to boot from LH64 by simply giving the subsystem the ISO.
I gave it the Slacko64-588 ISO and was able to boot 4 PCs into Slacko desktops in 25-30 seconds total. Surprisingly, they all arrive at desktop at about the same time even though they each have different speed 64bit CPUs with different capabilities. I guessing that each PCs is significantly faster than the LAN so that may be why they all arrive at desktop within 1-3 seconds of each other.
System boot time remains the same (~25secs) when system booted and a save file is present on the local USB.
Would like to see that Netboot subsystem made available for Slacko users, later this year.
Thanks Mick.

Fresh boot frugal from sda3 on ext2.
Have not made any settings yet except
- langpack installed
- edited xorg.conf:
xorgwizard failed and should get modesetting as fallback.
Would you like to change the welcome text from puppy to slacko64?
..or use new modified welcome1stboot?.

Well.. it is meant to connect. I notice L18L did. Slacko has a mechanism to show a different welcome screen if connected, something lacking in the BaCon version. I really don't know, or intend to learn BaCon/Basic so if that can be fixed (that is detection of connection in the bacon version) then there would be no need of the work around I have employed. To the original query.. I wonder if this may be a limitation of net booting in your setup? Every time I have had a live RJ45 plugged on my 3 64 bit machines I have gained connection.gcmartin wrote:Even though a DHCP host is present on the LAN, Slacko64 is NOT initializing the PC at initial starts. Again, this is a departure from tradition.
First, thanks for testing. It is possibly a missed call to /usr/lib64 (my bad). I will look at that and thanks for the report.L18L wrote:xorgwizard failed and should get modesetting as fallback.
Don't know yet. I did see your improvements. Ziggy wants us to convert welcomefirstboot to gtkdialog; with good reason as he has invested a significant amount of time making a gtkdialog library for woof-CE. The "jury is still out" (colloq) on that one.L18L wrote:Would you like to change the welcome text from puppy to slacko64?

As fatdog does not include bacon I have used slacko64 to compile and upx my modified version.01micko wrote:Don't know yet. I did see your improvements.

welcome1stboot attached
translatable using momanager.
EDIT
Note, executable works only in slacko64, not in Fatdog

Delightful
My only complain is that in a high dpi density screen (common in modern 64bit laptops) the defaults are too small.
I guess by grepping Xorg.log for "Image Size" and PreferredMode you can figure that, but by then is too late to change things automatically.
Oh well, JWM Manager works pretty well anyway, so is just few extra clicks
EDIT: Just noticed that the battery applet is not working on this laptop and powerapplet_tray just exits without any messages (Just exit 1)
